Answer:

For this item, we let x and y be the number of bushels of apple that will be used to produce apple cider and apple juice, respectively. The situation above is best represented by the following equations,                                            x + y = 18                                           20x + 15y = 330The values of x and y from the equations above are 12 and 6, respectively. Therefore, 12 bushels will be used to make apple cider and 6 bushels will be used to make apple juice.

Answer:For this item, we let x and y be the number of bushels of apple that will be used to produce apple cider and apple juice, respectively. The situation above is best represented by the following equations,

                                           x + y = 18

                                          20x + 15y = 330

The values of x and y from the equations above are 12 and 6, respectively. Therefore, 12 bushels will be used to make apple cider and 6 bushels will be used to make apple juice.

A 20-foot ladder leaning against a wall is used for each a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
zlopas [31]
We know that the building must form a right angle with the ground, so the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall, and the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall is a right triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance the ladder is from the building.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We know that the ladder is the hypotenuse because it is opposite the right angle.
a^2 + b^2 = 20^2
Substitute the length of the other side and solve.
a^2 + 17^2 = 20^2
a^2 + 289 = 400
a^2 = 111
The distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder is the square root of 111 or approximately 10.5357 feet

What is the measure of EG?
IrinaVladis [17]
The first thing you should know in this case is that a circumference has a total measure in 360 degrees.
 We have then that the formula to find EG in this case is:
 EG + GF + FE = 360
 We cleared EG:
 EG = 360-GF-FE
 We substitute the values:
 EG = 360-83-66
 EG = 211
 Answer
 EG = 211 degrees.
